Kingston starts indoor track season strong

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Sara Flores and Qiyam Green, who both made the state indoor track and field meet last year, started the new season strong to highlight a solid outing by Kingston High in an Orange County Interscholastic Athletic Association developmental meet Friday night.

Flores easily met the state standard in the 300-meter run, posting a 41.8 to win. She placed fourth at states.

She also ran the first leg on a victorious 800 relay team with Kayley Jansen, Brittany Roser and Rebecca Longendyke which clocked in a 1:49.9.

Green, 10th at states in the long jump, won the event Friday with a 19-foot, 11- 1/4-inch leap. He was also third in the high jump, clearing 6-0.
